A Colorado Gives Day Story: Every month at Imagine! we continue to work towards creating a world of opportunity for all abilities. And this November, we experienced so many wonderful and exciting things, including joining our friends at Big Red F Restaurants and The Post Chicken & Beer to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for their neighbors with disabilities, attending a book reading event by Mandy, creating holiday ornaments with a partner organization, and more. So today on #COGivesDay, we want to thank all of you who come together time and time again to help us support over 4,000 people with disabilities. We cannot do it without you!

July 14th is Disability Awareness Day, designed to encourage others to gain a better understanding of people affected by a disability and raise awareness about the benefits of integrating people with disabilities into every part of life, from economic and political life to social and cultural life. We thought this would be a perfect day to share this video story of Sarah, a painter, illustrator, and sketcher for whom disability is no barrier to creating fantastic and creative works of art. Enjoy!
